 I have a copy of SunOS 414, but have yet to install it
 ( its targeted at some lowly IPX class stuff that is
 boxed 2000 miles away but hasnt shipped yet )

 And yes the older SunOS is BSDish, whereas the newer
 stuff is sysV, but hey it was worth a shot

 See if ifconfig -a dont list all interfaces

 you might see the device mentioned in dmesg too

 The interface name is hardware dependent, le0 for example
 is the builtin lance ethernet chip used on lots of sun4m hardware
